"There's a thing that I call verisimilitude. By that I mean that within its own reality, it was extremely important that the characters in the story believed themselves. And the minute they didn't, it became a parody." - Richard Donner on directing Superman
In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil’s might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern’s light!

Some heroes are powered by strength. Hal Jordan is powered by will… and maybe just a little bit by his inability to back down from a challenge. I can't wait for a whole new audience to meet him in LANTERNS (and yes, Kyle Chandler was born to wear that ring). Hal made his comic debut on this day in SHOWCASE #22, written by John Broome, with pencils by Gil Kane and inks by Joe Giella.
Are we still talking about this? Sure it made some laugh but they took a what was a powerful scene in the comics and made it a joke. For me this was a great scene that showed who Hal is. No matter how out matched he is or how many times he gets knocked down, he will never give up
I know the term "Irreparable damage" gets thrown around a lot in comic spaces but this is the purest example of it cuz we really matching Hal Jordan against "Psylocke"
Someone said to me the fall of Sinestro in the comics is basically like what if Obi Wan became Darth Vader instead of Anakin and that shit can deadass sell like hot cakes if it's executed well
Pisses me off so much we're getting a true detective ripoff instead
Saying “DC was always my favorite brand” and “I liked the darker approach to these Gods” in the same sentence immediately exposes you as a tourist.
DC is not an inherently dark franchise like many of you believe. This is why yall call every lighthearted DC movie a Marvel movie.
I saw a test screening of Supergirl back in January.
And I can tell you for a fact that this isn’t an Ayer Cut or Snyder Cut situation at all.
There was maybe a scene or two that they should have kept in and the krypton scenes were structured differently throughout the film.
The film also ended with Kara flying off in her ship to “Dreaming” by Blondie.
So that post credit scene that was initially talked about by Gillespie was absolutely that Superman apartment scene.
But outside of that, there’s really nothing that could’ve been added or changed that would have improved the overall reception to the film in any meaningful way.
If they put out Gillespie‘s cut, the people who liked/loved Supergirl still would’ve liked it. But if you didn’t like Supergirl or thought it was just mediocre, the Gillespie cut would not have changed your mind in the slightest.
Craig Gillespie simply did not deliver.
I’m staying out of the SUPERGIRL discourse because if Craig’s cut had come out and been poorly reviewed, the conversation would be about how DC Studios failed to step in.
“Fans” don’t care about what happened, they just like having something to argue about on Twitter
